We live in a world obsessed with convenience, but comfort doesn’t grow you—it keeps you stuck. In this challenging Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel unpacks how constantly choosing what’s easy over what’s excellent trades long-term strength for short-term ease. He shares personal stories about seasons of risk while starting Black Fox Media and reminds us that Jesus never called His disciples to a life of safety—He called them to walk on water. Drawing on Jim Collins’ insight that “good is the enemy of great,” Mikel urges you to identify the areas where you’ve settled and take a step toward growth. This episode will push you to leave the safe, familiar, and predictable for the risky, faith-filled, and transformational.
